Stanford announced Meyer’s death earlier in the week.

Katie Meyer’s parents, Gina and Steven Meyer, appeared on the "Today" show on Friday to talk about their daughter.

"The last couple days are like a parent’s worst nightmare, and you don’t wake up from it. So it’s just horrific," Gina Meyer said.

Steven Meyer said his daughter was facing some kind of repercussions from her defending a teammate and was facing a disciplinary trial. 

Stanford told "Today" it couldn’t comment about student disciplinary measures.

"We’re just, we’re struggling right now," Gina Meyer added. "We are struggling to know what happened, and why it happened. We’re just heartbroken, so heartbroken."

The school said that it has a counseling staff on site at her residence hall, and it has been working with the student-athletes as well.

"Katie was extraordinarily committed to everything and everyone in her world," Stanford Vice Provost for Student Affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole and Director of Athletics Bernard Muir said in a letter to the community. 

"Her friends describe her as a larger-than-life team player in all her pursuits, from choosing an academic discipline she said 'changed my perspective on the world and the very important challenges that we need to work together to overcome' to the passion she brought to the Cardinal women’s soccer program and to women’s sports in general.

"Fiercely competitive, Katie made two critical saves in a penalty shootout against North Carolina to help Stanford win its third NCAA women’s soccer championship in 2019. Katie was a bright shining light for so many on the field and in our community."

Meyer’s most memorable moment came in 2019, when she saved a penalty kick during the NCAA women’s soccer championship. After making the save, Meyer had a celebration for the ages that surfaced all over social media.
